2025 Doubled Die Reverse WDDR-006

Description

Displaying Class VIII tilted hub doubling inside the large semicircular window and on the tops of columns number 2 and 3 of Monticello, this sixth doubled die reverse for the 2025 Philadelphia Mint Jefferson Nickel documents die varieties on one of the most recent dates in the series. Attributed by Brian A. Ribar under Wexler Variety ID 2025-P WDDR-006, Class VIII doubling results from an angular tilt of the hub during the hubbing process, producing a rotational displacement that concentrates in the architectural details of Thomas Jefferson's Virginia estate. The specific locations — inside the semicircular window and atop columns 2 and 3 — provide the pick-up points for attribution, as these architectural elements offer straight reference lines against which rotational displacement becomes evident. Die markers include a die gouge above the long left window and another die gouge inside the long right window on the reverse, with no notable obverse markers. The 2025-P Jefferson Nickel represents the most current production year, and six doubled die reverses documented this early in the date's collecting life reflects the unprecedented speed of modern die variety research. Brian A. Ribar has been a prolific attributor of Jefferson Nickel doubled dies, contributing extensively to the Wexler catalog for this series.
